- The creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, announced the name change as a marketing stunt inspired by Trump's orders to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America, with Google and Apple Maps adopting the new names for U.S. users.
- Season 29 will air on Comedy Central on Wednesdays through November 25, with episodes available to stream the next day on Paramount+, which offers both ad-supported and ad-free subscription plans.
- The premiere episode, titled "South American Biker Gangs," features a storyline where e-bikes arrive in South America, leading to chaos on the streets and confusion among parents.
- The show has frequently targeted Trump in its recent seasons, including portraying him as a central villain involved with Satan, and recently mocked his Emmy award history following the show's own Emmy win.
